Sing with me?

America is a great melting pot. This is what I was taught in elementary school. Never paid too much attention to it. My classroom was filled with every race one could imagine and we lived in peace. I was thinking about the violence and hate on the evening news, the political name-calling and bashing and all the world-wide wars and I just want to go back to my elementary school and enjoy some peace and harmony. The only melting I see anymore is the melting away of trust, friendship, love and dedication. I guess I will just "try harder"and raise a song of hope and love above the sounds of fear and frustration. Won't you join me in this song?

9-1-2015         Luke 10:18-20

S.       18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.

O.      Having a name in Heaven is most important.

A.      When my sin is washed away, my name is written down in God’s book. I then also have power over evil. I must guard against imbalance and backsliding to maintain my joy.

    P.       Father; open the eyes of my understanding as I hide your word in my heart that I sin not.                  Amen.
